New PFSWeb Distribution Center Starts Up in Mississippi; 435,000-S.F. Facility Provides Product Fulfillment for F500 Client

PFSweb, Inc. of Plano (Dallas) TX, a global leader in e-commerce fulfillment, third party logistics and business process outsourcing, has started up a 635,000 sq. ft. state-of-the-art distribution center in Southaven, Mississippi, (near Memphis) to serve an undisclosed Fortune 500 company. PFSweb, listed on the NASDAQ, has put $5 million into the high speed facility to fulfill the three-year contract and has optios for expansion. It will employ about 100 persons on average.

Plano, TX and Southaven MI (PRWEB) January 11, 2005 -- PFSweb, Inc. (NASDAQ: PFSW) began product fulfillment operations this week for a Fortune 500 consumer products client in a new facility at Airways Distribution Center in Southaven, Miss. The center, a short distance from PFSwebs nearly 1 million-square-foot distribution hub in Memphis, Tenn., is expected to employ an average of about 100 persons.

PFSweb, a global provider of integrated business process outsourcing (BPO) solutions, announced a three-year lease of the 435,000-square-foot building on Aug. 30, 2004. Operations at the industrial park, created by Industrial Development Inc. (IDI) of Atlanta, Ga., support a large, three-year contract with an undisclosed brand name client.

To meet our obligations for this prominent client, PFSweb expects to incur capital expenditures of approximately $5.0 million," said Mark Layton, senior partner and chief executive officer of PFSweb. Our expansion was financed in a favorable industrial revenue bond financing structure through the State of Mississippi and Comerica Bank." (Announced Jan. 4, 2004.)

The start-up brings the PFSweb total workforce to nearly 900 employees," Layton noted. Services at the new center will include inventory management, fulfillment activities, integrated reverse logistics and transportation management."

The plants high volume throughput capability – as much as 70,000 packages a day -- makes for a very robust order fulfillment solution to effectively accommodate the clients variable demand and seasonality," emphasized Scott Talley, Partner and Vice President-Worldwide Distribution at PFSweb.

This new facility is a highly progressive distribution center utilizing state-of-the-art Siemens Dematic automated material handling systems," Talley emphasized. The system incorporates:

• PickDirector Computer System and PowerRail Mounted Devices, including computer-activated, light-directed item selection, which increases quality and speed and reduces operating costs.

• A SortDirector Computer System which enables high speed carton sorting for optimum through-put while reducing touches" and handling costs.

• Siemens RS200 High Rate Shipping Sorter, which provides reliable conveyance of products
and cartons regardless of their size and shape. This technology gives the client the ability to efficiently offer a wide array of products to their customers.

Another key feature of the Southaven operation includes pre-sorting of packages by destination ZIP code to reduce the number of times packages have to be handled while in transit, thereby reducing both in-transit damage and transportation costs. This benefit, achieved through a sort process that facilitates bypassing carrier and postal processing facilities, generates substantial freight cost reductions for our client. The facility also will offer multiple delivery options, such as next-day, ground, postal and LTL (less-than-truckload) shipments," he said.

We will perform multiple quality checks using extensive in-line barcode readers and weigh-in-motion scales for optimal throughput with a high degree of control, which will reduce shipping errors and rework costs. Important to this client is PFSwebs ability to efficiently accommodate periods of both high and variable demand year-round," Talley stated.

Critical benefits for this F500 client," Layton added, include increased order accuracy, enhanced customer satisfaction, faster order fulfillment, flexible warehouse capacity and reduced inventory, direct costs and overhead. We are genuinely excited about this client relationship, for both the performance potential and growth opportunity it represents."
